Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"What did you say?"

Upon hearing Lu Feng's words, Liu Lanyu's expression also froze for a moment, then astonishment appeared on her face, "It's only been less than three days, and you actually managed to refine a youth-preserving pill?"

"Lu Feng, you wouldn't be trying to fool this elder on purpose, would you? You're just trying to get away with this?"

Liu Lanyu's face was full of doubt.

Although she herself was not an alchemist and did not understand the art of alchemy, she knew that the method of alchemy could not be rushed. Moreover, the Youth Preservation Pill was not of low quality; it was one of the fifth-grade pills.

Lu Feng had successfully refined a batch of Grade 5 Youth Preservation Pills in less than three days, which naturally surprised Liu Lanyu.

"Elder Liu, everything I've said is true; how could I dare to lie to you even a single word...!"

Faced with Liu Lanyu's questioning, Lu Feng didn't seem bothered at all, as if he had expected it. He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Besides, what I'm currently refining for Elder Liu isn't a Grade 5 Youth Preservation Pill, but another kind of beauty pill..."

"Another kind of beauty elixir?" Liu Lanyu's beautiful eyes flickered slightly.

"good."

With another grin, a confident glint flashed across Lu Feng's face. He then reached into his storage ring and retrieved a small glass jar. "This pill is called the Jade Skin Ice Pill, and it's one of the near-seventh-grade pills. Elder Liu, please take a look!"

The glass bottle was small, but it contained seven pure white pills, each about the size of a fingernail. The pills were crystal clear and flawless, each one resembling a naturally formed pearl. They were none other than the Jade Ice Skin Pill, a quality comparable to the "Precious Pill"!

"This, this is... a precious pill? And its grade has reached near-seventh rank...!"

Her gaze shifted, and she noticed the strange patterns on the Jade Ice Skin Pill as well. Liu Lanyu's pretty face changed slightly, and her beautiful eyes revealed deep astonishment. "In just three days, you've actually refined a near-grade seven pill that's comparable to a precious pill...!"

It should be noted that precious pills are not something that can be found everywhere. Even some experienced alchemists with masterful alchemy skills may not succeed even once in a hundred attempts.

Moreover, the value of a single precious pill is several times, or even more, than that of similar pills!

Therefore, when Liu Lanyu saw Lu Feng suddenly pull out seven Jade Ice Skin Pills, which were comparable to "Precious Pills", she was naturally astonished and incredulous.

After all, in her initial impression, the other party was only exceptionally talented and accomplished, but Liu Lanyu never expected that Lu Feng's alchemy skills were so extraordinary, almost on par with some alchemy prodigies in the outside world!

"Elder Liu, after taking this elixir, not only will it greatly improve blood circulation and metabolism, but it will also rejuvenate the body's organs, thus achieving the miraculous effect of 'beauty as jade and skin as white as snow'!"

Lu Feng gently handed over the small glass bottle, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "However, my alchemy skills are limited, and I have only managed to refine one batch of Jade Ice Skin Pills so far..."

Swish!

Before the former could finish speaking, Liu Lanyu suddenly waved her hand and took the small glass bottle into her palm. She then took out a Jade Ice Skin Pill from it and swallowed it without hesitation.

Glug...!

As the pill entered her stomach, Liu Lanyu felt a chilling emptiness instantly envelop her body. At the same time, her limbs felt weak and unresponsive, and she almost collapsed to the ground!

"Well...!"

"My body... is so cold!"

Sensing the various changes within her body, Liu Lanyu frowned slightly, clenched her teeth, and secretly circulated her Yuan energy to counteract the bone-chilling weakness, thus forcibly supporting her body from collapsing.

"Has the Jade-Enhancing Ice Skin Pill taken effect?"

Seeing this, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of curiosity in them. "However, this side effect seems rather severe. I wonder if Elder Liu can withstand it..."

In this world, everything has two sides; whatever you want to gain, you will eventually have to pay the corresponding price.

The same principle applies to Liu Lanyu's desire to regain her youth and become younger and more beautiful by consuming elixirs. She also has to endure the side effects of the Jade Ice Skin Elixir.

"ah...!"

A few more minutes passed, and Liu Lanyu suddenly let out a painful roar. She staggered and then collapsed to the ground, seemingly unable to withstand the effects of the Jade Ice Skin Pill.

"Elder Liu, are you alright?!"

Seeing Liu Lanyu suddenly collapse in pain, Lu Feng was startled. He immediately stepped forward and helped her up, his face full of apprehension.

After all, he was the one who refined the Jade Ice Skin Pill. If Liu Lanyu didn't see any effect after taking it, or if the side effects were too severe, then Lu Feng would be in deep trouble!

"Elder Liu! Look! Your face...!"

Lu Feng quickly helped Liu Lanyu up and was about to ask her a question when he suddenly froze, a look of joy and surprise appearing in his eyes.

"Face? What happened to this elder's face...?"

Seeing Lu Feng staring at her in astonishment, Liu Lanyu disregarded the pain and discomfort in her body, struggled to get up, and took out a bronze mirror from her storage ring.

"This, this is my face...?!"

Slowly pointing the bronze mirror at herself, Liu Lanyu was stunned when she saw her flawless, fair face reflected in the mirror. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

After all, she had practiced martial arts and warfare for many years and disliked makeup. Her face had long been eroded by the vicissitudes of time, becoming dark and dull. She was far from being "beautiful" and was even inferior to some old prostitutes in brothels.

However, after only consuming one Jade Ice Skin Pill, Liu Lanyu's entire face underwent a dramatic transformation, as if she had been reborn. Naturally, she was both surprised and delighted, finding it hard to believe.

"Lu Feng, do you think this elder is good-looking?"

Slowly putting down the bronze mirror in her hand, Liu Lanyu seemed to suddenly remember something, and immediately turned to look at Lu Feng beside her, while saying quietly.

"Elder Liu, you are not just beautiful now, you are absolutely stunning, a peerless beauty, with unparalleled elegance!"

Faced with Liu Lanyu's sudden "interrogation," Lu Feng was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed and saluted, while also skillfully flattering her, his face full of smiles.

"Is that so?"

Seeing Lu Feng showering her with compliments, Liu Lanyu merely raised an eyebrow, showing no arrogance whatsoever. Instead, she changed the subject, her tone intriguing, "Then let me ask you another question: between me and that former demonic sect enchantress, who is more beautiful?"

"Uh! Well, this...!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng was speechless for a moment, frozen in place, seemingly never expecting the other party to suddenly ask this question.

Because the demoness mentioned by Liu Lanyu was none other than Dai Qisi, the former leader of the Four Protectors of the Wusheng Sect!

Although Dai Qisi used to wear a veil and a long dress, never revealing her true appearance, anyone with eyes could tell that she was probably an extremely beautiful woman who could topple kingdoms, even if Liu Lanyu ate ten thousand Jade Ice Skin Pills!

Therefore, Lu Feng had absolutely no idea how to answer Liu Lanyu's question!

Because this is practically a death trap question, and there's no reward for answering correctly, but there's a punishment for answering incorrectly!
